Ways to Release Butterflies

Individual Butterfly Release

For a more personal experience, an Individual Release is ideal. Butterflies are placed in personalized, keepsake envelopes and distributed to designated guests.  The envelopes are opened at the same time and the butterflies emerge and take flight, or sometimes land on the guests, much to their delight!

Mass Butterfly Release

A Mass Release offers a dramatic display as the butterflies are released from a single source and take flight at the same time in a rush of color and beauty.

We offer a unique collection of release boxes.

Combination Release

Many of our customers enjoy a butterfly release utilizing both individual envelopes and a mass release box.
